A patrolman from neighboring Seaside Heights saved the life of a woman after a near fatal heroin overdose in a motel here, said Al Della Fave, a spokesman for the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office.

Patrolman Erik Hershey of Seaside Heights was called to save the life of a woman in her 20s, who was discovered in the Desert Palm Inn on North Ocean Avenue about 3 a.m. Tuesday, Della Fave said. Seaside Park does not carry its own supply of Narcan, although its officers have been trained to administer the opiate antidote.
